Neo -Paganism
The new concept of Neo-paganism was founded but not recognized until the 90s. This concept revives pre-christian beliefs and often uses ancient pagan practices. -

Doctrine

Sattler referred to this society as a "spiritual community" to entice people to join. Upon joining they will pay Sattler directly, and wait two years before learning the "deeper secrets." -

Later in the 70s a professor had planned to bring back the adoist society but his plans fell through. Finally German Professor Helmut Moller published an easy on Sattler, which reached many people. -
Present day
The religion and its practices continue to exist today. Since it is not a mainstream religion only few smaller groups and publishers with similar works
